time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully)
in the immediate vicinity.
• Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins,
coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the machine
with the laundry. These may damage components of the
machine (e.g. drum), which in turn can result in damage to
the laundry.
• Do not wash water-repellent things(e.g. raincoats) with
washing machine.
• Only remove laundry from the washing machine once the
drum has stopped turning. Reaching into a moving drum is
extremely dangerous and could result in injury.
• For washing machines having ventilation openings in the base,
the washing machines cannot be working on the carpet.
Safety with children
• Keep children away from the washing machine at all times.
To avoid the risk of injury do not allow children to play on or
near it or to play with its controls. Supervise children whilst
you are using it.
• Older children may only use the washing machine if its
operation has been clearly explained to them and they are
able to use it safely, recognizing the
dangers of misuse.
• For machines with a ‘porthole’ door, re-
member that the porthole glass will be
hot when washing at very high tem-
peratures. Do not let children touch it.
• When these parts are fitted can the safety standards of the
machine be guaranteed.
Note:

• Do not install the washing machine in place where tem-
peratures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst
or split. The reliability of the electronic control unit may be
impaired at temperatures below freezing point.
• Do not shoot the washing machine with water when you
clean it.
• Keep the washing machine away from fire or heat sources.
• Before using the washing machine for the first time, check
